Dr. Claude Mariottini posted a link to great article about a figure of ancient history that few people have heard of. Her name was Hypatia and she was a lecturer, a philosopher, an astronomer, and a mathematician in a time when women were not allowed in those fields. Truth be told, there are few women in those fields even today.
Below is a video showing the trailer for a movie based on her life. Dr. Mariottini is right, this artivle is really great on Hypatia.
